- Q. Hi, I have been audited by the NJ Dep. of Labor and they have concluded sub-contractor does not meet the requirements
- A: It sounds like the NJDOL determined that there was insufficient proof that the subcontractor was an independent business under the ABC test. This case will give you a good understanding of the legal issues https://www.njcourts.gov/system/files/court-opinions/2022/a_7_21.pdf
It may be worthwhile for you to hire an employment attorney to assess if you have any defenses to this determination.
- Q. Can an employer require me to sign a non compete agreement after I have already resigned? I am in food services.
- A: An employee cannot withhold an employee's check for this reason in NJ. If this occurs you should file a wage claim with NJ Department of Labor. An employee has no obligation to sign such a document after resignation.
- Q. Can a person be discriminated because of their religion at their place of employment.
- A: It is unlawful to discriminate against an employee based on their religion under both federal, NY and NJ discrimination law. You should consult with an employment attorney to discuss your matter further and get advice on how to address this.
